August 2017 UFO Sightings in the Workshop

I'm doing a terrible job on the bloggage front, but in the workshop, stuff is definitely going on. So just to make sure you don't think I'm slacking, here's this month's round-up of Un-Finished Objects around the shop...First off, there's the E-22 heavy blaster rifle carried by the Scarif "shoretrooper" stormtroopers in Rogue One. At this point I've finished prototyping and molding and I've cast a complete rifle. Here it is in black primer and waiting for a real paintjob:While I've been tinkering with that, I've also been working on the helmet of the Goddess Thor:The wings are cast separately, so I'm keeping them separate until I'm finished painting them:Work also continues on the T-60 Power Armor from Fallout 4:

I still have to prototype the rubber parts and work out the rigging for the hands, but for now I've been stalled for a moment while I experiment with different paint schemes:The other day I decided to spend a few minutes on some sewing projects. Among other things, I made a pocket:So now I guess I've taken the flametrooper project off of the backburner:Finally, because I had the 3D printers sitting around with nothing else to do, I cranked out a Covenant Carbine from the Halo video games:So there's still a steady stream of prototyping, preparation, molding, casting, sewing, design, cleanup, painting, and more going on. Sooner or later I'll do some proper writing too.Stay tuned...
